“No sea views!”

Reviewed 9 November 2016
for a stay in July 2016

The apartment was very clean and conveniently situated but its size was inappropriate for 4 adults (1 couple + 2 children aged 17 and 21). Only one bathroom/toilet made it hectic in the mornings. Second bedroom way too small. We had views on the neighbour's courtyard (parking bays and rubbish bins) - pity!

I would recommend this property to couples only or to couples traveling with a young child.

Thanks for your review. Our apartment is located on the beachfront and faces the view of Lions Head mountain. We do not state anywhere that there is a sea view - only that its location is fantastic. The pictures are completely transparent. It is stated quite clearly that there is only one bathroom. The second smaller bedroom is smaller but it does have a double bed.

This apartment is very conveniently located towards the Bantry Bay side of Sea Point almost opposite the Municipal swimming pool complex and close to restaurants, cafes and shops. We had a hire car for our 3 week stay but public transport seemed to be frequent and reliable.

Whilst the apartment does not have a sea view it has a magnificent view of Lions Head and a part of Table Mountain.

The apartment is compact with everything you could want and reliable wifi.

The twin bedroom is spacious, the double small but since both were used only to sleep in - we were out of doors most of the time it served its purpose - the beds were comfortable and the sheets, towels and beach towels were changed weekly by the very capable Veronica.

Whilst we did not use the cooker the hob was very effective and well used at breakfast time when we came back from our swimming sessions.

The apartment has a security person on desk duty during the day and he was most helpful and pleasant. It was disappointing to learn on our last day there that he was being replaced by security firm and moved elsewhere.

I would recommend this apartment to friends without reservation.

Thank you for making our stay comfortable.

We stayed at Perfect Beach Apartment from 3 to 7 January 2016. The apartment is located on the 3rd floor of Pleasant Ways Apartment on 275 Beach Road, Seapoint. Pleasant Ways is an old apartment block, but the unit itself is upgraded and modern. There is a staff lift that can be taken which has direct access to the apartment. We found the apartment to be clean and comfortable. From the apartment, one has quick access to the Seapoint promenade and swimming pool. Note, the room with the double bed is very small and not much cupboard space. The room with the two single beds is bigger. Our allocated parking was a bit tight - please check on this with the owner beforehand. Also note the apartment does not have an aircon, which can be a problem in the hot Cape Town months. Aside from the shortcomings, we will consider using this apartment again (but not in summer).

Thanks for the comments. It has been unseasonably hot in Cape Town this January, but luckily it didnt last very long. We have got fans and a portable air con unit now.

As a family of five, we were looking for accommodation which would allow us to prepare some meals at home, but within walking distance to shops and restaurants, and close to transport but not too far from the main attractions. This apartment was the perfect choice, right opposite the beach, with buses running right outside and more transport options one block away.

We walked and caught buses for the first four days and found it cheap, easy and convenient. Just need to purchase the travel card from one of the main stops (we got ours at the V&A Waterfront), and top up with rands when required. We hopped on and off regularly during that time, and still only spent the equivalent of AUD$7 per person.

The owner also provided a wireless hotspot which you can carry around during the day to enable the use of the internet while you're out and about. It was an excellent, free inclusion.

Although the master bedroom is compact, it's very comfortable. The second bedroom is enormous, big enough for an additional bed for our youngest child, plus 4 large bags.

The view of Lion's Head was stunning during the day, and a great indicator of the likely weather on Table Mountain.

For a very small fee, the housekeeper can arrange to have any laundry done - two shopping bags of clothes was R80 (about $8), and it was all folded and wrapped in cellophane. Wish I had that service at home!

We hired a car for the last 4 days and it gave us the ability to go further afield, have lunch at Stellenbosch, visit the Cape Point lighthouse and go to the Old Biscuit Mill markets on Saturday - this was a foodie's paradise! Go hungry and buy plenty (including things for afternoon tea and dinner). Very fresh, very delicious and relatively cheap.

I would highly recommend this apartment for its convenience and comfort. With so much to see and do in Cape Town, you don't need countless cable TV channels to entertain you - just get out there and enjoy yourself!
